Heidi Van Den Adel

Strategic Management Graduate
Copenhagen

Summary

Driven, value-oriented, people-centered and creative. Born and raised in The Netherlands, my love of cross-cultural experiences and collaboration has led me to live in South-Africa, Norway, Spain and now Copenhagen, Denmark. With a background in business administration and strategic management, I am passionate about the strategic development of innovative solutions that result from the intersection of analytical and creative mindsets. Through work experience in the investment, retail, start-up, and fresh produce industries, I have gained skills in project management, marketing, logistics, finance and strategy. I am an eager learner who does not shy away from steep learning curves. My ambition is to use my skills and experience to make a sustainable impact on professional level and beyond. My wish is to do this in either an analytical or consulting position.
